What This Skill Does
HoverBot creates and embeds AI chat widgets on websites. Configure a bot with a name, color, and greeting, then paste a script tag to deploy. The dashboard handles knowledge base uploads, conversation history, and domain management.
Deploying a functional AI chat widget takes under 2 minutes without writing backend code or managing LLM infrastructure.
When to use it
- Adding a 24/7 support bot to a small business site
- Embedding a sales assistant on a SaaS landing page
- Training a bot on product docs to answer user questions
- Replacing a static FAQ page with a conversational interface
- Prototyping a chat UI before building a custom solution
